openlayers 2 - WMS GetFeatureInfo request returns nothing with GeoServer

I'm having trouble with a select feature example in GeoServer and OpenLayers. For some reason the request returns nothing.

Here's the stripped down version that produces this:

I have a small WMS layer(~100 parcels) with polygons, and address data that I am overlaying Google Maps with a projection. It displays correctly.

map = map(...); //standard map creation
gmap = ...; // standard street map creation
wmslayer = new OpenLayers.Layer.WMS(
            "Parcels",
            "http://192.168.0.205/geoserver/wms", 
            {'layers': 'test:parcel', 'format':'image/png', 'transparent':'true'},
            {'opacity': 0.5, 'isBaseLayer': false, 'visibility' : false, 'zoomMin' : 15}
);

Then I create the click control...

infoControls = 
           {
            click: new OpenLayers.Control.WMSGetFeatureInfo
            ({
                url: 'http://192.168.0.205/geoserver/wms', 
                title: 'Get parcel data',
                layers: [wmslayer],
                queryVisible: true

            })
        };

Added the layers, add the control and activate it

map.addLayers([gmap, wmslayer]);  
infoControls[0].events.register("getfeatureinfo", this, showInfo);
map.addControl(infoControls[0]);
infoControls.click.activate();

//show info callback

function showInfo(evt) {    
    console.log(evt);
    alert(evt.text);
}

But when I click on the map inside I parcel, it gives the alert is blank, and so is the features in Firebug (from console.log(evt)).

The GET request in Firebug is red.

Edit: The database is CRS is EPSG:4327 and projecting it to Google Mercator... Do I need to project the BBOX of the request back to EPSG:4327 before I send the WMS request? How can I do this?

Here is the GeoServer log of the request

Answer

So mostly for future readers of this question - when you are doing getFeatureInfo requests to a different server (which includes a difference in the port number) you need a proxy - see http://trac.osgeo.org/openlayers/wiki/FrequentlyAskedQuestions#ProxyHost for more discussion.
